St. Patrick’s Day Wreath

We Luhuhuhuve St. Patrick’s Day. The excuse to wear green, the pesky little Leprechauns that wreck havoc on our house, the parades, green food …oh sorry, got lost in thoughts of all the fun to come! Anyway, back to the post. When it is time to decorate we like to keep it simple and fun.

This {super easy} St. Patrick’s Day wreath is one of our faves, and reminds us every time we look at it how lucky we are…even without a big pot of gold!

Working in small sections, place a generous amount of white glue on your paper plate and spread it around with your finger to evenly distribute the glue. Take one piece of tissue paper and place the eraser end of your pencil in the center of the tissue square. Fold the tissue down over the pencil as shown.

Use your pencil to stick the tissue to the glue.

Repeat these two steps over, and over, and over until you have covered the entire paper place with tissue squares. (If working with a younger child you can glue the tissue squares onto the paper plate flat. It looks just as cute!)

Locate the small shamrock from the “We Are Lucky” template. Use the shamrock as a template to trace around the photos of each family member. Cut the photo shamrocks out.

As an option: You can create a mat around each photo by placing each photo onto white cardstock and cutting around the photo allowing some of the white cardstock to show. Attach the photo to the cardstock with glue.

Locate the “We Are Lucky” shamrock and place a bead of glue around the edge of the shamrock.

Sprinkle with glitter and shake off the excess.

Locate the hole in your plate. Attach a ribbon for hanging.

Glue each of the shamrocks to your plate and allow to dry before hanging.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. May the luck of the Irish be with you!
